 What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video today. We're talking about the conference finals for the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs for 2023 so far in the playoffs this year. It has been amazing hockey My favorite moments were that the Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated I'm sorry to say that and a lot of people are gonna hate that but I did predict that the Panthers We're going to beat the Maple Leafs and a lot of people commented on that video saying that that is never going to happen And it happened so I'm extremely excited for that, but it's been some pretty exciting hockey Today looking at the final four teams It is going to be interesting to see who's going to make it to the finals and who is going to win the Stanley Cup this year I do have some predictions on that. So let's get straight into it up first with the Western Conference We do have the Vegas Golden Eights versus the Dallas Stars Now you guys know with the previous round round to the Golden Eights versus the Oilers I did say I was okay with either team advancing obviously that the Golden Eights did advance and make it to the conference finals I did kind of wish that the Oilers did make it even further than they had But I'm okay. That's the Golden Eights did advance now with the Dallas Stars I've been predicting against them since the start of the playoffs I know that they did have a couple games where some players did get hat tricks and there was some exciting Comebacks with them. However, I just find the Stars boring to begin with and I did predict that the Kraken We're going to beat them out in the last round and that unfortunately did not happen At least it went down to game 7 again in the first rounds the Kraken did go down to game 7 and they did win However, they couldn't overcome the Stars. So Stars versus the Golden Eights Obviously, you guys can tell which way I'm swinging this prediction. Hopefully I want to see the Golden Eights advance I want to see Vegas move forward and since 2017 since they became a team in the NHL I've been rooting for them that first year. They had an amazing run in the playoffs ever since They've been really trying to gain traction I think this year is the best hockey I've seen from them and it's pretty exciting hockey as well They have a lot of great players on the team in the past recent years. So it's been really exciting So my prediction is going to be 4-2 for the Vegas Golden Eights I really want to see them advance and make it to the finals Then of course, we do have the Eastern Conference, which is also going to be exciting hockey We do have the Carolina Hurricanes versus the Florida Panthers And I've already talked about the Panthers saying that I absolutely loved that they beat the Maple Leafs And I do want to see them advance and make it to the finals But honestly with this prediction with these two teams, I'm honestly okay with either team advancing Of course, I would like to see the Panthers advance and make it to the finals because I've been rooting for them for years Everybody said they can't beat Toronto and every Toronto fan was hoping that they were going to beat out Tampa Bay So that Toronto could see them in the second rounds They did get to see them in the second rounds, but they also beats them The Maple Leafs were eliminated by the Panthers and I was extremely happy to see that My prediction did come true, but that the Panthers were going even farther into the playoffs So obviously I do want to see them make it to the finals, but again, I'm okay with the Hurricanes making it to the finals My prediction here is obviously going to be the Panthers advancing I hope that it's somewhere around 4-1 for the final outcome I think it would be very cool to make it to game 7 But I would like to see that the Panthers do make a quick win of this series and make it to the finals If my predictions come true That would mean that the Vegas Golden Knights are going to be facing the Florida Panthers in the finals Which I think is going to be some exciting hockey both teams have never won a Stanley Cup So right there I'm rooting for that because that's awesome to see a new team that's never won it before Making it to the finals and hopefully winning so having two teams That's never won it before you're guaranteed to have somebody new winning the cup and to me That's honestly awesome to see So I'm very excited to see that happening, but again, I'm okay with the Hurricanes advancing to the finals I'm even okay with them winning the Stanley Cup this year I know they've done it in the past, but they've done amazing stuff this year, but for the Dallas Stars I just want to see them eliminated I don't want to see them making it to the finals and I definitely don't want to see them getting the cup I'm okay with the other three teams, but my predictions for the finals is going to be Vegas versus the Panthers Hopefully we can see that happen, but the playoffs this year have been amazing hockey. There's been some very interesting stuff I love that the Boston Baruans were eliminated fairly quick I wasn't expecting that to happen, but I did predict that that was going to happen I'm happy that it did they did have a great regular season But they just didn't do too much in the playoffs this year and the Panthers are in my opinion Just absolutely killing it So I want to see the Panthers make it to the finals and hopefully win the cup if Vegas and the Panthers do meet in the finals I do want to see the Panthers advance. I love their players I love the team a lot of people are thinking and saying that they're underrated That's they're never going to make it and win the cup. I hope that they do I just think that would be very exciting to see we've seen Tampa Bay do its three times now two back to back In recent years and then one in the early 2000s I would love to see the Panthers do the same thing and win the cup this year for the first time But even if Vegas makes it to the finals and win the cup I'd be extremely happy for that as well comment down below your predictions for the conference finals for the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and I will see you guys in the next video I am also just returning from a trip from going to Toronto and we did go to the Hockey Hall of Fame I didn't record any videos But I might piece together all of the photos that I did take while I was there And I might put them together and make a video out of that if that is something that interests you guys But hopefully I will see you guys soon where we're gonna be talking about who made it to the finals And who I think is going to make and win the Stanley Cup this year. Hope you guys enjoyed this video Let me know down below who you think is going to advance to the finals and I'll see you guys in the next one Peace
